Blue Lily Commission

Blue Lily Commission is the solo project of Stephen Palmer, SF author and the man behind ambient psychedelicists Mooch. The Commission was formed to make and release more uptempo music, drawing on a wide range of influences: trance, traditional ethnic electronica plus sounds from the real world.Sometimes known as the blue waterlily or the blue lotus,the blue lily, (nymphaea caerulea), was the most sacred plant of Ancient Egypt, prized above all others.Although exceedingly rare in the wild today it is thought to have been widespread across Ancient Egypt, where its psychoactive properties and propensity for bringing euphoria, heightened awareness and tranquility were apparently well known.
